Tento zakaz, ac nespravedlive a bez pheiny, vztahoval se po dlouha beta i na pozclejai spolky, ktere se od privodni CSPS adkepily. V Toku 1932 provedena byla reorganisace CSPS, kdy se s ni spojily, dalsi etyri jednoty: Lesko-Slovanska Bratrska Podporujiai Jeclnota, Lesko-Slovanska Jednota Jednota Taboritil Jednota Cesko-AmerickYch Lesniku a Lesnic. Spoj-eni bylo provedeno na zaklado , stareho charteru CSPS, ale nove utvol'ene teleso vstou pilo do verejnosti pod novYm jmenem "aeskoslovenske Spolky v Americe".

Co soudite o torn, abychom mai volleyball eety od rfiznYch tadil pro deventa, a "softball baseball" pro skupiny hocht?

Pro vitezne skupiny mohli bychom mit trofej. (Douf am, 'te sestra Hilsherova dosud ma ony odmeny pro viteze, ktere byly zakoupeny loriskeho roku.)

Take bychom mohli mit pro chlapce pro deventa mezi 10 a 12 roky stati nejake zavody, jako skok na vY gku nebo na dalku, anebo 50-yardovY beh. Pro deti pod 10 let star' meli bychom ptipravit nejakou soutet, bud' pro jednotlivce nebo pro skupiny, jako zpev, tanec nebo nejake jive cvieeni, ktere bylo by lehke nacvieit. Pro tyto zavody mohli bychom mit penetite odmeny.

Toto jsou jenom pokyny, co snad bychom mohli 'ptipravit pro deti a omladinu. Jestli byste s neeim podobnYm souhlasili, laskave sdelte svoje nazory co nejdfive, abychom na jednotlivYch CIslech programu pro na gi distriktni schuzi mohli zakit co nejdtive.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR INVITATIONS WERE SENT TO EVEry organizer of District Five to attend the Winners Banquet given by the organizers of District Three to the organizers of District Five. The banquet will be given on Sunday, March 7, 1954, at the hall of Pokrok Dallas Lodge No. 84. The hall is located at 2626 Floyd, in Dallas. Those of you who have received the invitation, kindly send your request for reservation to Brother L. 0. Hosek, Route 1, Grapevine, Texas. * • THERE ARE THIRTY-SIX ORGANIZers in District Three and thirty organizers in District Five. I am particularly glad to see the banquet of the organizers. All my life I have admired good salesmanship. Our organizers are salesmen, some of them good, some of them just average. I feel what District Three is going to do next Sunday will put the spotlight on a group of men and women, all good SPJST members, a group that is often misunderstood, underrated, or ignored. * WHAT DO I MEAN BY SAYING THAT our organizers are sale gmen? I have heard a lot of fancy definitions of salesmanship, but I think it all boils down to three simple elements—whether you are selling automobiles, educational courses, life insurance, or candidates for office. In every case, you are approaching the public. And to get to the public, you must observe the three elements in selling. * * FIRST, YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD product. You must believe in your product be good. No matter how good a salesman you are, you can't be happy selling an inferior product any more than you can be happy living a lie. If you don't believe in your product, if you call the fraternal protection "just another of these insurance rackets," you should quit right away to be an organizer for the SPJST and tie up with a business where you can push yourself to the limit with a clear conscience.

prospect how much you know about the business of life insurance. You must know what the SPJST has to offer thoroughly so that you can determine how the life insurance can meet the needs of your prospect, then explain to him how it fulfills those needs and ambitions.

A prospect is gOen not advice, but facts on which he can reach his own conclusions.

•

•

IN THIS CONNECTION LET ME point out something which I consider very important for every one of our organizers; and that is the attendance of the lectures given in the meetings for organizers. Three sets" of lectures were given this month. The organizers of District Two and of District Three had a combined meeting in West. District Two has 28 Organizers, but only 9 were presens. District Three has 36 organizers, and only 19 showed up. Instead of having 64 organizers at the meeting in West, we had only 28 of them. In the organizers meeting of District Five, we had exactly one-half of all the organizers in the district present, or 15 out of 30.

• • THIS INDIFFERENCE OF THE ORganizers brings up the third element of salesmanship. It is your sincere willingness to work. Not only the willingness— you have to get out and work, put in the hours, sell when others are taking the day off. 'I dare say that if you took a list of the 10 or 20 best SPJST organizers, they would tell you that the one and only thing which helped them get to the front_was willingness and hard work. In spite of all the lectures, basic courses, visual aids, and booklets, successful selling is largely a matter of work and percentage. The more calls you make, the more sales you make. Of course, as your skill increases your percentage goes up. But you never reach the heights unless you put in the work. * *

Three and Five. The banquet in Dallas should give you . some ideas , how to take the spotlight from the two districts and apply it in your own district. You, organizers in the other five districts, should also play an important role, have your own fun at it, enjoy your own victory dinner. How could you do' it?

Put your heads together at the next district meeting. Come out with your own challenge. * * SEVERAL OF THE ORGANIZERS who came to the meeting held in West, and who attended the organizers' meeting for the first time, expressed their appreciation with the instructions and the demonstrations given to them. They volunteered to say that they did not expect to get so many suggestions and so much information. With the exception of t w o or three,, everybody wanted to use the newly - prepared booklet to demonstrate and explain the "M-C", certificate which was put out in February with the approval of the actuary by the Supreme Lodge.

• IN ONE OF THE ABOVE PARAgraphs there is a statement that a prospect must reach his own conclusion. We only help him locate his problem. The new "M-C" certificate will give many hundreds of the • SPJST members the type of protection they need — and need very badly. There are a few ques tions which man does not like to answer either one way or another. "Will your widow stay where she is, or move to a, smaller home, or live with relatives?

If she stays where she is and if there is a mortgage on the home, do you wish that the mortgage be paid by the SPJST? How .small is your mortgage?"

These questions will cause his thinking to be directed to his own problems, and give the organizer a chance to explain the new "Mortgage Cancellation" plan.

It is one of the best in the series of the certificates which the SPJST now has.

ONE LIVING PIONEER Brother John Divin Sr., charter member of Lodge "v ernost No. 51, SPJST, which was founded July 17, 1904, at Ellinger, Texas was born May 9, 1873, in Czechoslovakia, town named Hovezi, in the province of Moravia. His parents were John and Anna Stryk-Divin. They owned some land and were farming ther; his father was also roing some carpenter work. There were seven children in the Divin family, two sons and five daughters. He was the fourth in row.

His brother—younger--died when four years old; also one of the sisters died at the same age.

When time was nearing for him to register for military service, not wanting like many other Czechs, Moravians and Slovaks, to serve as a soldier for the hated Austria-Hungary monarchy under which ruling Czechoslovakia was then, he decided to leave his native country and emigrate to good USA. At the age of 16, in July 1889, he came to America—to his uncle Martin Divin, at Oldenburg, Texas. He stayed at the uncle several months, working for him on his farm. The following year in February 1890, he came to Ellinger, and worked to the end of the year for Mr. John Chupik, well-known, progressive farmer. Then he went to Moulton, Texas, and to Hazen, Arkansas, doing farm work at these places. It was for better wages he went there. The salary there, at both places, was ten dollars per month with board; while at Ellinger was only eight dollars to board monthly.

When on his way from Moulton to Arkansas, he experienced a "funny" oisode; he was arrested and penalized after giving a hungry person some bread and cheese at Memphis, Tennessee, where he stopped to change train.

It was late in afternoon; he bought him a loaf of bread, which, of course, w.tr then for five cents, and ten cents g,ai di of cheese. While in alley in rear of the store, a negro youth, about 17year old boy, came up to him begging: "Mister would you please give me a piece of that bread? I sure is hungry, and have no money to buy me something to eat!"

Surely, I will give you some of my bread; it's bad to be hungry! Have more ad than I can eat right now anys y. Here, some cheese, too!"

The negro boy explained, he was there, in Memphis, since early morning that day, looking for work but so far couldn't find any. He said, he was living with his parents somewhere in country on farm, hilt because the place was flooded with high waters of the Mississippi. Riv° J L.

grain mill, sawmill and a molasses cooking plant, so there was just about work the year 'round. And sometimes when there were "still days" at the gin, and which usually was in the spring months, he also helped to haul wood from nearby "postoaks" to the gin with four-mule team in heavy,strong wagon. Hundreds of cords of wood was used as a fuel at the gin yearly. On the grain mill at the gin, they not only ground corn for that "good cornbread" and for other purposes, but also a good quantity of rye, as many peopfe in the Ellinger large rural area raised some of it then; mainly for their own use, or perhaps some of it for a relative, friend, in neighborhood or in the town. Every farmer, every "renter" around Ellinger was planting sugar cane for molasses every year; also numerous farmers had some ribbon cane, and so at the "cookery" at the gin, beside sugar cane molasses, they were making quite a lot of ribbon cane syrup, too. Now there's no more ribbon cane, and only a very little sugar cane for molasses-making purpose raised in the area; we have modernized and buy syrup at the store.

Although he was satisfied with his pretty hard work at the gin, but feeling at the completion of fourth year there, that the blaze and heat from the boilers' furnace into which he was "looking and poking" so much in the four years, is starting to affect his eyes, he was compelled to quit. And he went again to work for Mr. Chupick; for the third time, in about seven years' .period.

(Continued.) ) •(

er, he came to the city to try to find work. And was hoping to find it there yet. "Maybe tomorrow I have luck," he said.

The two were just about through with the simple "menu," when suddenly two policemen appeared upon the scene. To his surprise, one of them told Divin that they were arresting him. To his protest why they were arresting him, that he had clone nothing wrong, the fat "shoulder of law" said: "For associating with negro in public!" They didn't bother the negro youth.

At police station he was told by some official, he was fined one dollar. Divin had a iew dollars, but because he thought it foolishness to throw away one of his hard-earned dollars; he told the gentleman that he had no money. At the same time he thought that they might let him go, if they wouldn't get the cash. And it was only a one dollar...

But they wouldn't let him go. He stayed at the station over night, and next day —after a good breakfast—was helping filling bags with sand to be used somewhere in blocking spreading waters of rampaging Mississippi River. There he learned that the volunteer workers at that emergency job, filling the bags with the sand, were paid twenty cents a day. There was a good dinner at station—then again a good supper—after which he was told he could go, having the fine worked off. Liking the work TO OUR REPORTERS all right, and more yet the good meals When you write the report about your at the station, he asked if he could stay there a little longer? "I like it meeting, observe some of the rules used here." He got the answer, all right, by all good reporters: 1.

WHY The voice of the American consumer, raised in angry protest against dollara--pound coffee, is getting respectful attentien in Washington.

The Senate Agricultural Comthittee is investigating. The Senate Banking Committee is investigating. The Federal Trade Commission is investigating.

But to the housewife who wants to know if all this will bring her cheaper coffee, only one honest answer can be and is being given by those who have studied the coffee problem most closely.

It is simply: Not for a long time, and maybe never.

Certainly there is little prospect of coffee selling in the stores at 50 cents a pound as it did five years ago, or even at 85 cents, as it did last year.

There isn't anything that the government can do about it.

The consumers, of course, have their own weapon. If they would stop drinking coffee, or cut their consumption in half, it would have more effect than all the probes and all the laws Congress could devise.

But Americans don't take readily to self-denial. They like coffee, it is a part of their lives. They drink better than 100 billion cups a year and they don't want to stop. There has been a lot of talk of a coffee boycott, but no evidence that one is really developing. Coffee prices have soared before—though never quite to present levels — with no appreciable effect on the total consumption.

Besides, there is no guaranty that a boycott would bring the price down permanently. Those who produce and market coffee are not interested in big sales at small prices. They much prefer small sales at high prices.

The reason is not far to seek. Profit in coffee is figured on a percentage basis. Generally that profit figured at 16 percent gross. On a pound of coffee that sells for $1 the profit is 16 cents gross. On a pound that sells for 50 cents it is only 8 cents.

According to a popular song of a few seasons back, There's an Awful Lot of Coffee in Brazil. There certainly is, but no one knows how much, except the Brazilian government, and it isn't saying. There has never been an accurate figure on how many trees are under cultivation and how much they actually produce.

Figures are issued in Brazil, in Colombia., and in New York, purporting to show what stocks of coffee are on hand, and in transfer, what the size of the coming crop will be, and what an-

Strana 13

COFFEE IS COSTLY

ticipated consumption is. Not even a Senate committee, with its powers of eupena and contempt citation can check those figures which time and again turn out to be wrong.

Those figures control the future prices of coffee, and if, as it has happened, it develops that consumption was overestimated and production underestimated, so that an expected shortage failed to develop, there's nothing anyone can do about it. In the interval- the price, of course, has been pegged at a higher level.

The basic fact about the coffee industry is that* it does not operate in a free economy. It is a controlled business, and has been controlled longer than any other product that sells in the world market—since the turn of the century, in fact.

The basic control is exercised by the Government of Brazil, the world's largest producer of coffee, and, for all practical purposes and so far as the United States is concerned, the only producer.

Some coffee is brought here from Colombia, a milder and higher priced grade that is used chiefly in blending, but whatever the price of Brazilian coffee is, 1 that from Colombia is usually pegged at 4 cents a pound more.

There is good reason for coffee controls. Coffee is a commodity that tends if left to itself, to everproduction, and Brazil has had some disastrous experience with glutted markets. Since coffee is the backbone of the country's economy, with prosperity or panic hinging on the state of the coffee market the Government can hardly be blamed for seeking the maximum protection.

From 1902 until 1952 Brazil controlled the market by making Governments purchases of the product and withholding or releasing it as market conditions varied. In 1952 the Government adopted a new policy, fixing by law the quantity of coffee that could move to the port of Santos, the chief export point, and otherwise arbitrarily limiting the quantity that moght be channeled for export.

That policy is still in effect.

During the prosperous 1920's Brazilian coffee producers planted heavily.

Then came the world depression of the thirties and the picture changed. Brazil alone was producing more coffee than the whole world could consume or at any rate could buy.

Coffee growers cannot vary their output sharply from year to year.. A coffee tree takes 5 years to mature, and then lives for 75 to 80 years more. Once it starts bearing its production tends to

increase over a span of some 30 years.

In the 1930's Brazil was all but buried under mountains of coffee.

1 In this crisis the Brazilian Government did exactly what our own New Deal Government did u n d e r similar circumstances—it stepped in and bought surpluses, and destroyed them. Over a period of some 8 years 79,000,000 bags of 132 pounds each were burned, and there still remained hugs stocks in storage. To discdura.ge any future growth in output, new taxes were levied on new tree plantings.

This, as Vernon D. Wickizer, a leading coffee economist, has pointed out, brought' Brazil to a new crisis. It was keeping prices up, all right, but it was losing its market to other producers, particularly in Asia. In 1937 the government decided to let prices fall. That worked, and Brazil began to win back its markets.

Then came the Second World War and Brazil found that instead of having all the world to sell to it had, for practical purposes, only two customers — the United States and Canada.

Chaos descended on the coffee business and Brazil and 13 other Latin American countries that produce the bean fcund themselves with ruin.

Something had to be done, and the United States did it. Operating under the good-neighbor principle it sponsored an inter-American coffee agreement under which the country agreed to take supplies on a quota basis, and under a price-stabilization agreernens, from all producing South American countries.

The coffee market leveled off and order returned to the South American economy. The leadership of the United States in bringing this about was much appreciated to the south.

Proposals have been made from time to time that this country attempt to grow its own coffee. It is generally agreed that coffee cannot be produced. economically in the United States, but a partial answer might be found in Puerto Rico.

• There was a time when Puerto Rico exported more than 400,000 bags of coffee a year. Now it imports all it uses.

Development of the island's coffee growing potential might well serve as a brake on coffee prices.

But that, if it could be .done at all, would take years. For those who want immediate relief the advice of the late Senator Robert A. Taft still stands. When Taft was asked what American housewives could do to bring high food prices down he answered crisply: "Eat less."

LETTERS A DAY IN THE MARDI GRAS FESTIVAL My thoughts go back to this time a year ago when under somewhat happygo-lucky circumstances a group of members were at the lodge hall following a meeting discussing our neighboring state of Louisiana.

The subject of Mardi Gras naturally conic up in as much as one hardly thinks of New Orleans 'without thinking of its most distinctive features.

This casual but interesting circle of friends soon found itself processing plans to go to New Orleans.

Briefly, Mrs. Helen Valcik, wife of our editor of the Vestnik, who joined in the enthusiastic discussion wasted no time at all to suggest that she had a sister in New Orleans, and without further adieu assured us that a visit to the Carnival City would not be complete without availing ourselves to the hospitality which her sister would be more than delighted to offer, especially during the Mardi Gras season because of the convenience of the location of her business establishment here in the heart of the historic French Quarters perpetual frolic and fun predominate at such a time.

It is the time of the year just prior to the religious Lenten season when the city turns into a general carnival. It brings visitors from far and wide to celebrate in the city's most distinctive social features; and, it has been said by competent critics and historians that Mardi Gras is equal to the spectacular triumph of ancient Rome in its beautiful parades.

The annual parade starts about noon on Mardi Gras day and is quite a spectacle when pageantry and wealth are prominently in display. The throng of people in the main streets enter into the spirit of the day and cares are completely set aside. There is general masking on Carnival Day whether you are a casual observer or participant.

ly home provides the comforts and necessicies to which they enjoy retiring after a day in business.

It is a pleasure to recall visits and contacts like this.

Naomi Kostom • THE RIGHT WORD IS INFLATION According to Presidqnt Eisenhower, in his State of the Union Message on January 7, "the damaging effect of inflation on the wages, pensions, salaries, and savings of us all has been brought under control."

A `, —I Bat— When the housewife picks up a pound of coffee and finds 99 cents scratched, off and $1.03 stpmped in its place, then takes a 21-cent item and finds it is now 25 cents, that's inflation.

When you stop in to look over the "low priced" automobile that used to be $800, then $1,100, then $1,400, then $1,800—and find that it now costs $2,300 and more—that's inflation.

When you consider that you got a raise or two over the last couple of years and then suddenly realize that you're burdened with debts and haven't been able to save a dime, even though you've bought nothing but necessities—that's inflation.

When your landlord sends you notice that starting next month your rent will be increased by $14 a month—that's inflation.

When you realize that the utility bills that cost you about $17 a month a few years ago now add up to about $35 a month—that's inflation.

When you read that farmers are complaining about the low prices they are getting, you get the idea your food costs are going down—but then you go to the store and find your food prices are' going even higher—that's a squeeze for the farmer, uncontrolled price gouging for someone along the line, and inflation for you.

If you think these things are tough on you, consider the situation of the fellow who got his layoff notice and became one of the more than 2 million unemployed that have sprung up in recent months. For him, his income has been shut off but he still must face the inflation that is with us.

What do you fellows think if we have a Volley Ball earn from each lodge for teen-age girls and a soft ball baseball team for teenage boys? The winning team to receive a trophy? (I hope Sister Hiisher still has those trophies which were bought last year).

Then for boys and girls the ages of 10 and 12 inclusive to have a fifty-yard dash contest or a running high-jump contest.

For all children under ten to have an amateur contest, either single or group singing, dancing, drilling or anything that they are learning to do, These prizes could be cash awards.

If you, fellow,s, agree to my suggestions or have something to add, or make suggestions of your own, please answer in next week's Vestnik, so we can get the ball rolling to the 'District Five meeting.

We don't want to wait until three weeks before the actual activity is to be held.

In order to have a successful meeting and program on May 30th, we must start right now in assembling our program. It must be advertised through the Vestnik (which majority of lodge members read) so the other lodges will be able to get their entrants prepared and entered in the District Five participations in plenty of time.

Too, each lodge should have an adult representative to bring to the meeting any actual problem or suggestion which will be progressive to our Fraternal Organization. These friendly debates should be minimized to a three minute limit. This way everyone gets a chance to give his view point.

MILK MAY BRING DISEASE Science is beginning to shatter a conception most Americans are weaned on the idea that milk is the most wonderful food man put into his stomach.

The further bacteriologists explore into the wild blue yonder of viruses and organisms, the more the opposite seems true. It might be better not to drink milk at all.

They don't deny that milk is a good food, the best concentrated source of proteins, carbohydrates, ' fats, minerals, and vitamins we have.

• But what they do point out is this: floating around with the food particles in milk are millions of unwanted organisms, most of them harmless, but some toxic, and a few — the direct cause of some number one infections on our current disease parade.

Polio, TB, perhaps even cancer.

This "dangerous" milk isn't always the r a w, unpasteurized product that sometimes finds its ways into communities through laxities and loopholes in municipal milk ordinances, t h e kind health officials and the public-spirited press have been crusading about for years.

It's also pasteurized milk; yes, the pasteurized .milk one hundred million Americans buy daily at the grocery store or have delivered to their doorsteps; the milk that comes in those familiar quart bottles and waxed cardboard containers labeled INSPECTED, APPROVED and PASTEURIZED. Today, pasteurization cannot be considered, the supreme symbol of safety it once was. Bacteriologists will no longer guarantee that the famous process developed by Louis , Pasteur in the last century kills all disease-producing bacteria. They say if properly carried out —which means heating for fifteen seconds at 62 degrees Centigrade — pasteurization destroys all the organisms causing diseases usually associated with milk — typhoid, undulant; and scarlet f ever.

But in the meantime something new has been added to our knowledge of bacteriology -- the virus.

More and more of these ultra-small organisms whose very existence and name were unknown in Pasteur's day are being isolated. Most display a resistance far greater than that of their larger bacteria brothers. And some simply fail to be destroyed by the pasteurization process.

Take Q fever as an example. Physicians can't explain why this mysterious disease breaks out sporadically in Texas, California, Pennsylvania, a n d Illinois.

By David A. Weiss But Dr. Robert J. Huebner of the Microbiological Institute proved two years ago that the organism causing its high fever and inflammation of the lungs can survive the pasteurization process. Traces of the organism he tested were still virulent after they had been heated to a temperature approximating the minimum used in pasteurization.

Tubetculosisis another disease that can be transmitted by milk. In 1942 the British Medical Research Council tracking down the forty-five per cent rise in TB fatalities Along children pinpointed the cause of infection to bad milk. Not only unpasteurized milk was to blame.

A government survey made in London revealed that three percent of all pasteurized milk tested contained tubercle bacilli, the organisms that cause the disease.

Fortunately, TB from milk can't happen here. Thanks to the vigilance of the dairy industry and governmental agencies, only five percent of milk cows in the United States are infected with tubercle bacilli. So remote is the possibility, the U. S. Public Health Service Reports on milk ordinances don't even mention it.

But in other bacteriological spheres Americans aren't so lucky. Recent indications are that cancer, too, can be transmitted by milk. "The most important basic medical discovery of the present generation" — that's what one scientist said in 1941 when Dr. J. J. Bittner of the Jackson Memorial Laboratory reported that breast cancer in mice could be transmitted from mothers to their offspring, through their mother's milk.

Two years ago at a special conference called by the New York Academy of Medicine, three doctors working under the auspices of t h e Damon Runyon Foundation reported that the same conditions existed among the human mothers they examined.

"Particles found in the milk of human mothers taken from women with a family history of cancer," they stated, "may indicate a virus transmission of breast growth."

Since the milk of cows, mice and human beings has essentially the same chemical composition, the parallel is obvious. Already investigators are tackling the possibility of cancer being transmitted by cow's milk.

For milk to become contaminated it isn't even necessary for the cow to have direct contact with the contaminating agent. That's what Dr. Arnold Lehman

of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration revealed several years ago to a house committee studying the effect of chemicals in food.

Explaining certain experiments conducted by the Department of Agriculture, Dr. Lehman told how half of a dairy barn was sprayed , throughout with the powerful insecticide DDT while the other half was sprayed far beyond the reach of the cows. Proximity made no difference. In both cases, the chemical, appeared in the cow's milk within 24 hours.

"A small dose of DDT cannot harm humans," Dr. Lehman pointed out. "But since the chemical's effect is cumulative —it secretes itself in body fat — constant exposure to it may be dangerous."

The latest entry to join the list of diseases possibly transmitted by milk is polio. Recent research indicates the polio virus finds a safe home in pasteurized milk. Drs. R. B. Lawson and J. L. Melnick started the experimental ball rolling in 1947 when they published a special report in the American Journal of Public Health. Not only did milk afford greater protection to certain polio viruses, they found, but also traces were still present after the milk had been heated for thirty minutes at '70 degrees Centigrade, a temperature well above that of pasteurization.

More recently, the well known bacteriologist Dr. Edward Rosenow scored another point in the polio-milk relationship. He actually . discovered strains of polio virus in pasteurized milk.

The question is often raised: why isn't the temperature of pasteurization raised in order to kill all these viruses. The answer is simple. A higher temperature also destroys the traditional flavor of milk. Fluid milk then would taste like evaporated milk.

Even pasteurization as it is now carried out sometimes fails to accomplish all it is capable of. Hardly a year passes without some American community being swept by a contagious infection, the result of pasteurized milk which reaches the consumer in an unsafe condition.

As one New York doctor stated recently, "Just as complacency breeds behind the pasteurization label, so sometimes do organisms."

A few physicians think it might be best to eliminate milk completely from the human diet. Dr. Horace Wendell Soper, one-time chairman of the American Medical Association has been actively campaigning against the liquid for over a quarter century.

"Fluid milk is unfit for human con-

Creek have met with the same fate." If station men escaped they could find haven at the division stations, which j were about every 200 miles. At these division points extra men, animals and supplies were kept as a precaution against the raids of Indians and desperadoes. Division superintendents, men of heroic quality, received pay as good as that received by the best riders: $100 to $150 a month. Since division points were sometimes located in places infested with horse thieves, it was necessary to have in charge men of the fightfire-with-fire type. Noted among this type of division agents was Jack Slade, who turned out to be one of the worst "bad" men in the history of the West.

Yet while he worked for the Pony Express he was loyal and efficient. Needless to say, he did a thorough job of purging horse thieves.

How did Indians regard the rides?

One historian writes: "Indians would sometimes gaze in open-mouthed wonder at the onrushing ponies. To some of them the 'pony outfit' was 'bad medicine' and not to be molested. There was a certain air of mystery about the wonderful system and untiring energy with which the riders followed thei rcourse.

Unfortunately, a majority of the red men were not always content to watch. the Express in simple wonder." When attacked by Indians the riders relied on speed, not guns. It was a rule of the company that a rider should never fight unless forced to do so. A few riders were mortally wounded, but .they always stayed in the saddle until the mail was delivered. Only one rider was ever killed outright while on duty. The pony riders with their magnificent horses invariably outclassed the Indian ponies in speed and endurance.

But perils from Indians were not all.

There were perils of the wilderness, perils of the desetrs, perils from storms, and even perils from friends. While dashing past a wagon train of immigrants the rider would sometimes hear the crack of guns. But he never stopped to ask question. On return trips he would get the answer: "We thought you were an Indian." And indeed, traveling so swiftly and unencumbered, sunburned and blackened by exposure, on first glance the riders must have borne no little resemblance to Indians.

When the transcontinental telegraph went into operation in October, 1861, the Pony Express went out of existence.

Its life had been short: only 16 months of operation. But during that time it

aided the United Stater government in retaining California at the beginning of the Civil War, and thus in a way it helped to preserve the Union.

Financially the Pony Express was a miserable failure. For protection against Indians the company had paid an enormous price. In 1860, Indians destroyed nearly every pony station between California and Salt Lake City.

The cost of that Indian warpath was $75,606. Yet even under this terrific financial strain, the Pony Express not only improved its service, but when requested by the government, reduced postal rates from $5.00 to $1.00 a half ounce. The total cost of the Pony Express was set at $700,000; its receipts were only $500,000. While the government aided the company by issuing army revolvers and cartridges to riders and offered the help of federal troops when they were available, it failed to extend any assistance financially.

Thougs the Pony Express as a financial venture failed, it accoa,plished much in other respects. It aided an imperiled government, shoived the practicability of building a transcontinental railroad and illustrated what stouthearted men can do when they steadfastly stick to their work. During the sixteen months of operation, riders tiaveled 650,000 miles against desperate odds. Yet in spite of desolate space, in spite of bewildering darkness, in spite of blinding blizzards; in spite of drenching rains, in spite of scorching deserts, ios iite of rugged mountains, in spite of intolerable fatigue, in spite of ruthless outlaws and in spite of savage Indians, only a single mail ever failed to reach its destination! In any day and age that is mail service extraordinary!

The Congressional Record is a daily journal of the proct s. dings of Congress, published when Congress is in session by the government.

On Monday, February 22, 1954, Congressman Roman L. Itruska, of Nebraska, secured permission to include in the Congressional Record a matter of great interest to, all who are of Czechoslovak descent.

Its centennial comes as a distinct surprise to many people who are wondering that a socitey with a name seemingly strange and very little known before the First World War is already 100 years old and is celebrating its centennial at exactly the same time as the great Republican Party of the United States.

Acquiring Our Habits A father wants his boy to form the habit of looking after money carefully, so he puts his son on a fixed allowance, gives him full freedom within the limits of the allowance, and makes him responsible for the consequences of any extravagance. At first the boy is almost sure to make mistakes — to overspend, for instance, and find himself broke.

But before long he probably begins to develop a system.

The system may include outward actions such as keeping accounts or maintaining a savings account, and also in ward attitudes such as carefulness and planning. It is this complex of outward actions and inward attitudes that we call the habit-pattern of financial carefulness. Notice that the boy learns it by discovering how to deal with a real-life problem, and that it becomes standardized because it works out..

A young wife who was very carefree before her marriage takes to worrying, fussing, and fretting about money soon afterwards. During her years of single blessedness she never gave money a thought, for there always seemed to be plenty of it around. Now she suddenly runs into the disconcerting fact that her husband's income is limited, and that she has to administer it as purchasing agent. She has no technique for doing so, no system whatsoever. The only solution she can find is to worry and fret.

It is a bad one, but it is all she has. So it becomes a habit.

If you watch human beings, including yourself, you will see them following along with standardized ways of acting, feeling, thinking. These are their habits.

You 'may be spre that these habits were acquired as methods discovered for dealing with this or that problem, and that they became standardized because they worked well, or well enough to suit, or because no better method was forth coming. ) 4, e GIVE AIE ONE INCH Yes, only one inch of your paper is all that the editor wants, one inch of margin.

casualties among military personnel in the southwest Pacific far exceeded the number of enemy-produced casualties on both sides! Since 1638 malaria has been treated with quinine. In 1930, German chemists synthesized atabrine, which was more effective than quinine and less toxic. During World War II a synthetic substance related to atabrine called chlorquine was found to be much more effective in suppressing some forms of malaria than atabrine.

Doctors finally came up with primaquine, which can destroy the "hiding" parasites in tissues and reduce the relapse rate from about 30 per cent to less than 1 per cent. Regarding this drug, Science Digest, November 1952, stated: "Moderate quantities will soon be available for civilian use."

The hormone drugs, cortisone and ACTH, have recently held the spotlight for the treatment of rheumatic fever and similar disesases. They were found to be valuable chiefly for the temporary relief of the symptoms.

FLAMES BLUE JEANS FOR ROWDY GIRLS

The "Sloppy Joe" style of blue jeans and men's shirts sported by some girls, is one of the reasons for the rowdy conduct that brings them into juvenile courts, thinks 'a Chicago high school director, Clarence B. Carey.

Carey believes, according to Eden Wright in the Chicago Daily News, that there's a direct link between dress and conduct in youngsters.

They "act as they look," he says.

And he claims that because the Jones Commercial High School in Chicago has emphasized normal garb for its students, it is one of the few that has never had a disciplinary problem or suffered damage from, vandalism. At Jones, a public school that specializes in training students for office work, girls predominate.

The motto is that a "girl should be a girl and not a boy."

Blue jeans are strictly taboo, the skirt and sweater costume and bobby sox are not allowed.

By the time a girl reaches her last semester she must wear a hat, gloves and high ee s, un ess there's some health reason that makes the latter inadvisable.

"We've found that if a teen-ager dresses with dignity, she or he will act with dignity," says Carey. )s 4 •( Optimist: Anyone who will send a small boy to run an errand.—Pathfin der.
